How do you become a comic book writer? Look among indies for some artist willing to draw your sentences 'n' didascaly?

I noticed that webcomics aren't very verbose.

>didascaly

basically instructions for actors (in this case artists) put in a drama script.

I honestly don't think good work gets overlooked online. Even mediocre gets a day in court.

>>83735155
Start with webcomics
Start shilling out to the largest most popular demographic that will be culturally acceptable for the next 10 years

It worked for Kate Leth

How much to average comic writers get paid?

A living wage?

Can't be worse than working in the video game industry, quality of life wise I guess.

>>83735383
Depends on who you are and how much you negotiate for. Typical artist rates are around 100-150 a page. Colorists get 60-100. Letterers usually work in a studio but I think around 40 a page.

She sucked the feminine dicks of Andy Khouri and Laura Hudson and helped castrate Chris Sims.
That's how she got into comics.

>>83735781
Yes

Well, in this case the instructions you give to the writer.

For example

ext night
Superman just took a shit and is wiping his crack with his cape
>art monkey, make sure to use the exact shade of brown I linked you in an email yesterday. Also make sure that Kal-El's cheeks remain hairless when showcased.
Superman: Unf, good thing that I can incinerate feces with my laser eyes
>Superman takes off the cape and lays it at his feet. Have one closeup of his face, pupils glowing red. Then the full figure against the full moon, zapping away at the contents on the cape.

etc etc

Become famous in another avenue besides comics then punch down by writing for them

Worked for CM Punk, Bruce Jones, Jeph Loeb, JT Krul, Judd Winick, Kevin Smith, Max Landis...
